Table 4. Baseline Values and Effects of Propofol on Myocardial Performances and Coronary Blood Flow in the SHAM (n = 10) and in the Severe Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Groups (Severe LVH, n = 7)

Data are mean ± SD.

*P < 0.05 versus  baseline value.

†P < 0.05 versus  sham-operated group (SHAM; baseline value only).

NS = not significant; LVEDP = left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; LVESP = left ventricular end-systolic pressure; dP/dt^max, dP/dt^min= maximal positive- and negative-pressure derivatives; CBF = coronary blood flow.
